Midfielder Shamirah Nalugya Returns as Asubo Hosts Kampala Queens
In a highly anticipated match, Kampala Queens are set to make a short journey to Kampala Quality Ground, locking horns with Asubo Ladies FC in their final first-round battle of the 2023-24 FUFA Women Super League campaign.
After a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wakiso Hill WFC in their previous outing, Kampala Queens are riding high on confidence. Team captain Zainah Namuleme and Nandede Zainah’s goals proved pivotal in securing the win at MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.
Asubo Ladies FC, on the other hand, enter the contest on a positive note, having garnered four points in their last two fixtures. A goalless draw against table leaders Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC was followed by an impressive 4-2 triumph over Makerere University WFC, marked by Teddy Nyafono’s strike and Kamiyat Naigaga’s hat-trick.
In head-to-head statistics, Kampala Queens boast a commendable record against Asubo Ladies, having secured six points in their last two encounters. In their most recent clash on February 5, 2023, at Kampala Quality, Kampala Queens emerged victorious with goals from Elizabeth Nakigozi, Margret Kunihira, and Sophia Nakiyingi.
As the teams gear up for this crucial clash, Kampala Queens’ long term absentee Prima Mugidde (Goalkeeper) is still ruled out due to injury. However, the rest of the squad, includinghttps midfielder Shamirah Nalugya, is available for selection, setting the stage for an intense showdown at Kampala Quality Ground. Football enthusiasts can expect nothing short of an exhilarating match as both teams vie for supremacy in the FUFA Women Super League.
Meanwhile, Asubo Ladies currently holds the 8th position in the league, having accumulated 8 points in eight games this season. Despite their current standing, the Queens of Soccer are determined to maintain their winning streak and secure maximum points in upcoming matches. Meanwhile, Kampala Queens, positioned at 2nd place with an impressive 19 points, stand poised to claim the league’s top spot, provided they can secure all available points in today’s match.
